The art of lacquerware flourished on trays and plates during the Han dynasty (206 BC - 220 AD). These refined vessels served both ritual functions - to present offerings - and everyday purposes in the kitchen and at the table.
This plate’s lobed floral form reflects the sophistication of the Ming aesthetic. Although the lacquer has worn, faint remnants of the decor remain: a court life scene with two characters dressed in traditional attire.
It makes a perfect fruit bowl or a nice tray for your nibbles.
Dimensions: diameter is 35.5 cm (flat inside is 24 cm), height is 6 cm.
Last piece available is the octagon shape (pictures 1, 2 4 and 5).
